A practical guide to clinical integration, workflow fit, and what implementation looks like for your practice.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an established treatment modality. Here's why physician-office integration matters.
Fewer than 1,400 HBOT facilities exist nationwide compared to 500,000+ physician practices. Most patients lack convenient access to this therapy.
HBOT typically requires 20-40 sessions per treatment course. Providing therapy in-office keeps patients within your care continuum.
FDA-cleared for 14 indications including wound healing, radiation injury, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Medicare and most insurers provide coverage.
The RxAir360 system is engineered for straightforward implementation within established medical practices, requiring minimal facility modification while expanding your therapeutic capabilities.
Compact, single-occupancy design fits standard exam rooms or procedure spaces without structural modifications.
Treatment parameters managed through your practice's clinical workflows with integrated safety monitoring.
Add an evidence-based adjunctive therapy to your treatment protocols for appropriate patient populations.
The RxAir360 system is designed for the standard physician office environment.
Footprint
10' × 12' — compatible with standard exam rooms
Power Requirements
Standard 220V outlet — no special electrical work required
Entryway Access
Vertical design allows for in-room positioning and patient access
Treatment Protocol
Sessions typically 60-90 minutes; staff training provided
Patient Evaluation
Physician assesses indication and determines treatment protocol
Session Preparation
Patient enters chamber; staff initiates compression protocol
Treatment Delivery
Automated monitoring throughout session; real-time safety systems active
Decompression & Follow-up
Gradual decompression; documentation and next session scheduling
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers can be operated by trained clinical staff — physicians do not need to personally operate the system. Staff training pathways are available to support implementation.
Trained technicians or clinical staff can operate the chamber, allowing physicians to focus on patient care
No physician time required for daily operations or treatment sessions
Training programs exist to help staff develop the skills needed for hyperbaric operations
From initial inquiry to operational capability, here's the general process.
Submit consultation request; receive initial information
Discuss practice fit, space assessment, and clinical protocols
Space evaluation, electrical requirements, staff training schedule
Equipment delivery, setup, certification, and operational training
Staff certification requirements vary by state and facility type
Documentation and billing protocols align with existing EMR systems
NFPA-99 and PVHO-1 compliance requirements apply
Facility classification determines regulatory pathway
Reimbursement varies by payer and clinical indication
Prior authorization requirements depend on payer policies
Physicians evaluate HBOT integration based on patient volume and scheduling capacity. The following scenarios illustrate how varying utilization levels affect treatment throughput and reimbursement.
| Patients / Day | Treatments / Week | Treatments / Year | Illustrative Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 patients | 20 | 960 | $384,000 |
| 6 patients | 30 | 1,440 | $576,000 |
| 8 patients | 40 | 1,920 | $768,000 |
Assumptions: 48 weeks per year × 5 days per week × $400 average reimbursement per treatment
These scenarios reflect varying levels of clinical utilization and scheduling intensity.

Everything you need to know about billing and reimbursement for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Yes. Medicare, Medicaid, and most major private insurers cover HBOT for FDA-cleared indications. These include diabetic wound care, radiation injury, crushed bones, burns, crush injuries, and more.
Facility Services: HBOT facility services are billed under HCPCS code G0277 in 30-minute intervals. A standard 90-minute session typically generates 3 units of G0277.
Physician Attendance: Physician presence during treatment is billed separately under CPT 99183 (hyperbaric oxygen treatment supervision), one unit per session.
Combined Medicare reimbursement for facility (G0277) and professional (99183) components varies by locality, payer, and number of units billed. A standard 90-minute session generates 3 units of G0277 plus 1 unit of CPT 99183.
Medicare reimbursement for facility services (G0277) typically provides $400+ per 60-minute session nationally, with rates exceeding $500 in higher-cost metropolitan markets. Rates are updated annually through the CMS Physician Fee Schedule.
* Actual reimbursement varies by locality, payer, and annual CMS updates. Detailed reimbursement analysis is provided during physician consultations.
Standard documentation includes patient history, diagnosis, treatment plan, informed consent, and treatment logs. We provide pre-built templates and EHR integration support to streamline your workflow.
